    I think it’s a 50/50 fight , AJ has better skills with good power . A ten times better version then Wallin !!! No easy fight for the G King 👑

      If the same Fury showed up, He'll need a perfect boxing match like he had in the 2nd fight vs Ruiz.

      If he trades, I see this favoring Tyson

          To be honest I favour Fury on paper but Joshua seems to be written off and a lot of people have anointed Fury as being invincible, there's no such thing as an invincible fighter.

          Joshua matches up very well with Fury sizewise and despite what Fury and Wilder fans will tell you he actually does have advantages in this match up besides being the bigger puncher. He has much better punch technique than Fury especially at medium and short range, if him and Fury get into a situation where they are trading at short or medium range that will favour AJ. Watch the Wilder rematch, as much as Fury is beating Wilder up, a lot of his punches are very sloppy in delivery. Joshua also has a better selection of punches.

          Fury is obviously the better pure boxer and boxes far better than Joshua at long range and has the better stamina, is his chin better? probably but I don't think he'll be at an advantage if it becomes a trade off, Joshua is not as brittle as the Ruiz fight suggested cause getting hit with Solid shot around the ear will rob most fighters of their legs.

          Ultimately I see it as a 55-45 type fight in Fury's favour, its close enough that it comes down to who employs the better gameplan on the night. I think the fact that Joshua is being written off will ensure that we get the best version of him on fight night while I feel its very possible Fury comes slightly overconfident. Joshua will need to make it a mid range battle and make full use of his left hook cause Fury is much more susceptible to it than a right hand (he avoids those for fun). I feel Joshua outworks and "outdamages" Fury in enough mid and short range battles to earn a close decision win. I feel AJ being the underdog and written off by most will give him the extra motivation to be better than he's ever been cause he'll need to be to pull it off and I believe he will.

            AJ is way too textbook for Fury.

            We know the inconsistent Fury that turns up against guys like Wallin won’t turn up to a big fight, so that’s not even in the equation. And it’s not the Fury coming off a 3 year lay off and still not fit, like Wilder fought in the first fight.

            The only way AJ has a chance is to really impose himself in the first round or 2 before Fury settles into any rhythm. If he can’t, then Fury picks him apart and stops him. Once Fury gets into His rhythm, it’s pretty much over.

            It’s not even like AJ can box with Fury. It’s one thing doing it from the outside with a midget Ruiz with tiny arms, he can’t do it to Fury. Fury has the better feet, longer reach, better jab.

            It’s heavyweight boxing so never write anything off, but i think Fury outboxes him, turns the screw and takes him apart in about 6 rounds. He might survive a bit longer, but it’ll be pure survival.

              I'd give the edge to Joshua but I think it will be a very tough and close fight to score.

              There's certain lulls in the action/windows of oppourtinity that pass by in Fury fights that someone like Wilder can't take advantage of due to only having a straight right hand. I think physically Joshua can hold his own with Fury and do good damage at close quarters with his uppercut and hook combinations, something which Fury hasn't really had to deal with in against his two signature opponents in Wlad and Wilder.

              Obviously Fury will be superior on the outside and we could see some rounds a bit like the first 4 in AJ vs Wlad where he struggled to land and was being kept at bay. I think Fury approaches this fight like how he fought Wladimir and Wilder the first time, he may also fight southpaw to try and nulify Joshua's lead left hook as he seems a bit more open to the left hook as an orthodox.

              I wouldn't be surprised at all if Fury won but amazed if he destroys Joshua or wins a lopsided decision.

                Tough to say. AJ vs Fury is actually a 50/50 fight unlike Wilder vs Fury even if it was billed that way. I think Fury is a bit too slick for AJ but AJ has always wanted to fight Fury and was never afraid of him like he seemed to be with Wilder. Seems to me, he feels he's a natural opponent for Fury's style. Not sure who'd win, but I'd root for AJ.

                  It’s possible. Every fight is different.

                    I think Fury would take AJ to deep waters and get a similar KO by fatigue

                      If he can fight like wallin he has a good chance, but that style requires balls and great whiskers..
                      Wallin was 9-3 against fury though so there’s that.or 8-4 at best
